Jen stays classy

Many of us have questioned how Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have handled their split. Because despite all the talk of Ben’s vices and cheating with the nanny, they are still involved in each other’s lives. Yes, it’s a united front they present to their kids but the fact that Jen even allows him near her has had people wondering if they would find a way to work things out and get back together.

Yeah, that’s not happening. Jen covers Vanity Fair with a balls-out interview in which she speaks candidly about her ex and it might be the best thing you’ll ever read. This is more than just the true story of Nannygate; it’s also a revealing look into Ben and what really happened with their marriage. It’s freaking magical.

Some of Garner’s more memorable quotes are on marriage:“It was a real marriage. It wasn’t for the cameras. And it was a huge priority for me to stay in it. And that did not work.”

Nannygate:“We had been separated for months before I ever heard about the nanny. She had nothing to do with our decision to divorce. She was not a part of the equation. Bad judgment? Yes. It’s not great for your kids for [a nanny] to disappear from their lives.”

Ben:“He’s the love of my life. What am I going to do about that? He’s the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous. He’s just a complicated guy. I always say, ‘When his sun shines on you, you feel it.’ But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it’s cold. He can cast quite a shadow.”

On the truth:“He’s still the only person who really knows the truth about things. And I’m still the only person that knows some of his truths.”

On Ben’s giant phoenix tattoo:“You know what we would say in my hometown about that? ‘Bless his heart.’ A phoenix rising from the ashes. Am I the ashes in this scenario? I take umbrage. I refuse to be the ashes.”

What she has to say about truth? That was a subtle but smooth threat, no? But “bless his heart” might, hands down, be the classiest insult we’ve ever heard. No one but Garner could utter those three skillfully deployed words with a wink and still come across as a sweetheart, not a bitch. But Jen is not, nor has she ever been, a shrinking violet, which is why we could read the interview, and in between the lines, forever and ever. Well executed, Jen. Please, pretty please, teach us more.

Kanye gushing about Will Ferrell is incredible

OK, so we know that Kanye West has been a little … wacky with his tweeting. His Twitter timeline looks like it was written by dozens of different people and it’s been entertaining/annoying/flabbergasting, to say the least.

But on Saturday, things took a turn. For the awesome. Because apparently Kanye has some love for Will Ferrell, and felt the need to share that love with everyone.

At least one person won’t be feeling Kanye’s wrath anytime soon. Though, of course, that could change in a heartbeat. Relish it for now, Will!

1D’s Liam Payne is dating still-married X Factor judge Cheryl Cole

Back in October, every One Direction fan got the news they had been waiting for when news broke that Payne and his longtime girlfriend, Sophia Smith, broke up. But Liam wasn’t alone too long because he’s already in another relationship — with someone who has been in his life since 2008: X Factor judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini (formerly Cole).

Liam changed his Instagram profile pic to one of him and Cheryl on Saturday, and also shared a cryptic tweet, a pair of schmoopy-woopy emojis.

This couldn’t be more fantastically scandalous and we couldn’t love it any more.

This Sex and the City reunion was like no other Sex and the City reunion

Sorry, Carrie, but you would’ve been a third wheel at the 2016 Eco Rock benefit for the Rainforest Action Network. Big and Aidan, otherwise known as Chris Noth and John Corbett, were in attendance and their red-carpet reunion was a huggy, kissy affair.

No, really.

OK, Noth and Corbett actually hung out earlier this year at a Golden Globes pre-party but the PDA wasn’t as showy as this. Hmm, wonder what Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte would say? Or maybe they couldn’t say anything at all.

Biebs embarked on some early birthday celebrations

With 22 right around the corner (literally, March 1), Justin Bieber threw himself a wild birthday bash on Saturday and there were a ton of famous faces celebrating the birthday boy.

Scooter Braun was there, obviously, as was Kourtney Kardashian, Hailey Baldwin, Sean Combs and Joe Jonas. Diddy even gave Bieby a Bad Boy letterman jacket, which he put on after wandering around shirtless.
